Can England Finally Do It In South Africa?
This year’s World Cup is being hosted in South Africa and many are saying Spain, Brazil, Argentina and England are the favourites. I definitely see Brazil and Spain being the favourite but I question the other selections of the bookies. Brazil and Spain have always been known for their passing and movements and the fast pitches in South Africa will definitely suit them. As soon as you play long ball you can see that the ball is skids through and there is no way anyone can catch it.
England do have a passing game but I am not sure why they don’t play their normal game when they start playing. The problem England have is they get too defensive after they score a goal, there is no confidence in the team to go get another or just to keep the ball. After scoring they just tend to go on long ball mode and expect someone like Defoe to hold it, it he plays of course. This is not going to work in these pitches in South Africa.
Argentine do not have the similar type of team from 1986 but they are still a very strong side. Though they do have a genius called Lionel Messi. He was a bit unlucky not to score in the first game because the Nigerian keeper has an outstanding game but Messi was by far the best player in the pitch. If Argentina can play like they did in 1986 then Messi can take the role of Maradona and they can definitely do well in this tournament. Who know what can happen?
